H.R. 5706, World War II Pacific Sites Establishment Act

Summary

H.R. 5706 would establish the Pearl Harbor National Memorial as a distinct unit of the National Park System (NPS) and remove it from the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument in the state of Hawaii. Additionally, the bill would re-designate Honouliuli National Monument as the Honouliuli National Historic Site.

Using information from the NPS, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 5706 would have an insignificant cost over the 2019-2023 period because we expect that any additional costs to revise signs, brochures, and other informative materials would take place in conjunction with standard reprinting and routine maintenance. Any such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.

Enacting H.R. 5706 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 5706 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

H.R. 5706 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
